BACKGROUND Because of unique exposures, studies among farmers may yield insights into the relationship between allergies and non-Hodgkin lymphoid (NHL) neoplasms. We evaluated farm characteristics, allergic symptoms and conditions, and risk of NHL including specific subtypes in the Agricultural Health Study, a prospective cohort of farmers and spouses from North Carolina and Iowa. METHODS We ...

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) develops in about 5% to 10% of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients. The vast majority of AIDS-NHL are clinically aggressive B-cell NHL that are histologically classified as small noncleaved cell lymphoma (SNCCL), large cell immunoblastic plasmacytoid lymphoma (LC-IBPL), and large noncleaved cell lymphoma (LNCCL). In an attempt to understand the molecu...

Viral infections have been associated with increased risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). We conducted a nested case-control study to investigate the association between prediagnostic serum antibodies to the human polyomaviruses, JC (JCV) and BK (BKV), and subsequent risk of NHL. Two research serum banks were established in Washington County, Maryland, in 1974 and 1989, with the collection of ...

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) ranked as the sixth most common cancer in 2016. Its incidence has steadily increased in the past decade. Both environmental and genetic factors can promote the development of NHL. It has been hypothesized that chronic antigenic stimulation, especially due to a virus such as the human immunodeficiency virus, Epstein-Barr virus and hepatitis C virus (HCV), plays an impo...

Natural hydraulic lime (NHL) can be used as an inorganic cementitious material, it exhibits low shrinkage, salt-alkali resistance, moderate strength, and good durability with cultural relics. There has been increasing interest in NHL, is considered appropriate material for the restoration reinforcement of architectural In this study, limestone potassium feldspar were mixed calcined at different...

This study was designed to assess the influence of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) on non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) among patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Within EuroSIDA, a multicenter observational cohort of more than 8500 patients from across Europe, the incidences of NHL and subtypes (Burkitt, immunoblastic, primary brain lymphoma [PBL], and other/unknown...

PURPOSE Chemokine axis CXCR4/CXCL12 is critically involved in the survival and trafficking of normal and malignant B lymphocytes. Here, we investigated the effect of high-affinity CXCR4 antagonist BKT140 on lymphoma cell growth and rituximab-induced cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN In vitro efficacy of BKT140 alone or in combination with rituximab was determined in non-H...

BACKGROUND Excision repair crossing-complementing group 2 (ERCC2), also called xeroderma pigmentosum complementary group D (XPD), plays a crucial role in the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway. Previous epidemiological studies have reported associations between ERCC2 polymorphisms and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) risk, but the results have remained controversial. MATERIALS AND METHODS We ...

The association between some infections and non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) is well known. Human T-cell leukemia/lymphoma virus type 1 (HTLV-1) was the first oncogenic human retrovirus to be discovered and has been found to be associated with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL). Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has consistently been linked to both endemic and sporadic Burkitt lymphoma (BL), as well as...

The incidence rates of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) have steadily increased over the last several decades in the United States, and the temporal trends in incidence can only be partially explained by the HIV epidemic. In 1992, an international workshop sponsored by the United States National Cancer Institute concluded that there was an "emerging epidemic" of NHL and emphasized the need to investi...
